Welcome, D. Carmita. Recently, there was an e-petition relating to Goa's disappearing natural forest cover. I hope those who received that petition signed it.
Anyhow, one of the issues of denuding forests is the reduction of updrafts, which in turn will make the coastline un-bearably hot pre-Monsoon, a fact which is currently being touted as being a result of man-made CO2 (greenhouse gases). Greenhouse gases could be having an effect along with changes in the Solar system as a whole, but my reasoning is that if there is no updraft due to trees in the interior, there will not be any cooling breezes coming inland; and if this updraft eventually disappears due to drastic reduction of forest cover to give way to industrial development, residential buildings and mining industry, I do not have to spell out the end effects in a few years - it will go the Sahara way. I remember reading this warning in the late 60s (advancing deserts or something like that), and then again something similar appeared recently on New Scientist.

Fiddle while Rome burns.....(meaning to occupy oneself with unimportant matters and neglect priorities during a crisis.) ...I just joined goanet a week ago, and I have been amazed at the passion, energy and time spent discussing who is TRASH and who is not TRASH , when the biggest trash are our politicians and their policies or lack of them in Goa. If you all are such fervent Goenkars, it is about time you find out what is going on in the interior of Goa .... ____________________________________________________________________________________ Access Yahoo!7 Mail on your mobile.
